Every once in a while, I tweet something that stands on its own. Sometimes it's poetic, sometimes silly and sometimes just a little observation that has a kernel of wisdom in it. Here are some of those tweets.

Genius isn't having all the answers. Genius is knowing what questions to ask in the first place.What kind of mileage does a Transformer get?Theory: all video game plots take place in a parallel universe of lobotomized clones.Don't look now, but there's a ninja on your lap...This Mickey Mouse cartoon about a trip to the moon is really doing a piss-poor job of teaching my 2-year-old about astrophysics. Don't upset the apple cart as it plunges over the cliff.My wife and my boss just joined Twitter. Welcome aboard! And remember this advice: if you can't express something in 140 characters or less,You call it ADD. I call it accelerated mental task switching.No one has killed me yet. Therefore I cannot be killed. #logicWas asked by a ~10 year old boy this morning: "Can zombies swim?" My answer: "No, but the fresh ones float."I'm pretty sure the reason my two-year-old cries and screams so much is because he hasn't yet learned how to swear properly.Million-dollar idea: a watch you wear on your finger like a ring, instead of on your wrist like a bracelet.It is my strong desire to see Breaking Bad resume 15-20 years from now with Holly White picking up where her father left off.My ideal bromance: get drunk and discuss the cinematography of car chase scenes.Happy July! I moved my snow scraper from my back seat to the trunk today. #MichiganAthcab stromatolites halibut bitches.I just time traveled. I oscillated back and forth between "here" and a memory. "Here" won, as it always does, but that was fun.How to watch sci-fi movies: pretend they were all made in the 1950s on a shoestring budget and be amazed.My son just said to me: "One time I farted so hard, I cried." #proudpapaDefinition of old age: singing along to a song you've always hated just because you finally found something on the radio you recognize.Definition of old age: singing along to a song you've always hated just because you finally found something on the radio you recognize.Does anyone else think that dried flowers are creepy?

Every year, I report on the results of a mock college football playoff in protest of the fact that we still don’t have one. This year, I almost didn't, because we finally have a four-team playoff. However, four teams is not enough, and so by popular demand I am releasing the full 16-team field. Enjoy.

I have bracketed and seeded the teams according to their final regular-season rankings, with some consideration given to tradition and geography. I also used the rule of no more than one team per conference in any given bracket.

As I did the past three years, I have also set up a second-tier 16-team tournament. I've included all of the conferences champions without a spot in the main tournament (American Athletic, C-USA, MAC, Mountain West and Sun Belt), as well as the next-best available teams according to the polls.
